Shepherd’s hut in Devon: Quietly nestled in the heart of Devon, this eco-chic hideaway is idyllic for families wishing to spend some quality time together in nature’s paradise. Explore the unspoilt countryside and quaint villages before gathering around flickering flames and sharing stories under starlight.

Overview

A retreat to Shepherd’s Sky Super Hut nourishes the soul. The incredible owners have really gone the extra mile to provide the greenest gateway possible; the hut is powered by 100% renewable energy from its solar panels. Not to mention, its interiors are simply gorgeous. From its reclaimed wooden furniture to the handmade curtains and cushions, every inch has been crafted to absolute perfection. As the sun disappears beyond the horizon and pastel hues fill the sky, gather around the firepit for a magical starlit evening with the ones you love most.

Step Inside

Handcrafted with families in mind, you may have noticed this isn’t your average sized shepherd’s hut. Step inside and feel utterly content and at home, owing to its soft colour palette and thoughtful finishing touches. The sociable open-plan living space boasts a beautifully presented kitchen area, snug sofa, sweet dining table and warming wood-burner.
The whole aura of this hideaway is soul soothing, with plenty of space for your day to flow with ease, but with all the essentials for a cosy escape. Discover the lavish main bedroom to the right of the hut; a warm, welcoming space hosting a sumptuous double bed, where dreamy nights sleep await. The little ones will love their room, situated to the left of the hideaway. With a quirky bunk bed which utilises the space perfectly. There is a double bed suitable for both adults and children, with a single bed above (please note the single beds is only suitable for children under 10 years). This room can be made up of two singles if preffered. There’s also a sleek shower-room to freshen up after a day’s adventures. This hideaway boasts lovely indoor and outdoor spaces, making it the perfect getaway no matter the season.

Outdoors

The outside space is oh so special, with breathtaking views across rural green pastures and gentle rolling hills. At Shepherd’s Sky Super Hut, you are nestled right in the heart of the Devonshire countryside, so peace and quiet are guaranteed. Get lost in a good read or drift off for an afternoon snooze in the sunshine. Four-legged friends are warmly welcomed here and will love roaming the lush green garden area just as much as the kids will! As dusk settles, expect even more magic, with the landscape turning golden and the sky glowing with a warm mosaic of pink and orange hues. Light the rustic firepit and gather around the flickering flames to share stories, toast marshmallows and stargaze! As the embers soften, enjoy your favourite tipple and toast to a special holiday spent in nature’s paradise.

Eco-features

The owners have taken every measure to make the hut and grounds as 'green' as possible. From using low energy light bulbs to collecting rainwater for the garden and providing boxes and habitats to encourage native wildlife. The hut is run off renewable energy via solar panels. They really have gone the extra mile.

Explore

Promising scenes out of a fairytale, this gorgeously unspoilt area boasts winding country lanes, ancient farmsteads and pretty villages. The hut itself is situated on a lovely farm on the outskirts of Cheriton Fitzpaine, a charming little village. You can wander down to The Ring of Bells from the hut in under half an hour - a bustling pub and restaurant with a warm and friendly atmosphere. You’ll also find Thornes Farm Shop in the village, buy some delicious local produce to later be enjoyed back at the hideaway. You can even pick your own berries and green beans, as well as other dried goods in zero waste dispensers.

Visit the market town of Tiverton and explore its 12th century castle or head to the gothic mansion of Knightshayes Court, with its stunning gardens. Wander the pretty village of Bampton, known for its flower-lined streets and historic buildings or a little further afield to Dulverton, which is tucked away on the edge of Exmoor National Park. From here, you can explore the wonders of Exmoor; from wild walks to cycling trails, and don’t forget to say hello to the famous ponies along the way!

Alternatively, head to the vibrant Cathedral city of Exeter and wander the pretty streets and boutique shops. Stop for a spot of lunch by the quayside or hire a canoe and paddle along to the two renowned canal-side pubs, The Double Locks and The Turf Hotel! If the seaside is calling, visit the towns of Budleigh Salterton, Sidmouth or Beer. Or if it’s long days lazing on the sand that you’re after, Dawlish Warren, Teignmouth Beach and Exmouth Beach are all around an hour away. Head a little further afield and reach the infamous Jurassic Coast, well worth a visit whilst you’re in the area! With so much to explore in the stunning county of Devon, you will want to return time and time again!

We loved our stay at the hut. It's beautiful and the surroundings are stunning and very peaceful. The hut was cosy and clean and very comfortable and quite spacious. We had everything we needed and felt very relaxed after our holiday. Our dog loved the encloses garden.

Shepherd's Sky is well thought out, plenty spacious enough to be very comfortable, and in a beautifully quiet and scenic location. We'll be back!

We had a lovely week staying at the Shepherds Sky super hut, the location was beautiful. We never knew who are neighbours would be when we woke up in the morning, cows, sheep’s or pheasants!
The hut is spacious with a good sized living space (for a hut) with everything we needed. It also felt very light and airy with windows on both sides.
The last stretch of road to get there is quite narrow so be prepared to reverse a few time for oncoming traffic.
I would highly recommend staying here!

Loved the hut - it's in a lovely location, has a decent kitchen for a Shepherd's Hut and bedrooms were good. The outside area is lovely, with a good firepit and picnic bench. The hut is surrounded by a wire fence so it's perfect for dogs.

The Shepherds Hut is a beautifully located peaceful retreat, with a great outdoor space. My husband and I relaxed in front of the firepit, mainly cooked outdoors, read, played games and tennis with our 3 children, who were so content, we didn't feel the need to go anywhere else! We were lucky to have amazing weather, and there are lovely quiet lanes where you can walk to a great farm shop if you don't fancy cooking. We spent most of our time just lazily enjoying the sunshine, and are looking forward to our next stay!

Good size, beautiful location, very peaceful and amazing views of the stars at night! Only given 3 stars as disappointed there were no walks locally for me and the dog unless comfortable walking on country lanes or jumping in car first to go elsewhere.

Reply from Unique Hideaways:

We're delighted that you enjoyed the peaceful lcoation for stargazing. There are many stunning walks than can be reached within a short distance by car, but there are also beautiful areas to explore from the lane leading from the hut. We hope that you enjoyed your stay overall. Julie, Customer Support

What a fabulous Shepherds hit. Much more spacious than a normal one and the bunk beds for the kids were a real hit. The sunsets really are quite magical. Had everything we needed, we really enjoyed our stay, so nice to switch off and be surrounded by nature.

We stayed here to celebrate our sons 2nd birthday surrounded by his favourite things, farms and tractors… and we were keen for peace and tranquility for a week. WOW this spot delivered just that! The perfect location for true R&R! We even lucked in with the birth of lambs during our stay and the hosts were so kind and allowed us to meet and cuddle a few! It was a fantastic stay and a memorable way to celebrate our sons birthday! I couldn’t recommend it more highly!!!

Such a beautiful tranquil setting, this shepherd’s hut is warm and cosy even in November rain and wind. It is exceptionally well equipped and very welcoming to dogs. The sheep come right up to the private garden fence, giving a real “shepherd” experience!

We had a lovely stay with our 2dogs at the Shepherd's hut. It was our 1st time in a Shepherd's hut so had to adjust to the size and set up. It's in a very rural setting perfect for the dogs and if you like peace and quiet. No wifi so used quite a bit of data to google walks etc. There is a folder available with some very good circular walks in the area though. We visited 2 NT properties abt 25mins away and went to Exmoor area few times too but that's a bit further. Victoria, the owner, is very helpful and approachable. All in all a lovely 5days away from it all exploring mid-Devon and Exmoor.

This was our second magical stay at this property. Set amongst rolling Devonshire hills with easy access to towns (Tiverton & Crediton) as well as historic Exeter. Beaches are also close at hand Exmouth is beautiful.

Plenty to keep young and old occupied a real gem of a holiday in a truly magnificent setting.

Great welcome and arrangement texts from the owner, everything was as agreed .. Ring O Bells, the village local was excellent too. Dog friendly, superb food and drinks. A warm welcome from the landlady and clients. The village is walkable to, but a steepish hill on the return !! Jan & Mel, Oct 22

What a lovely spot! So quiet (and we live in a little village) and spectacular views. The layout in the hut is well planned to make use of the space. We had no trouble with mobile reception. Visited Powderham Castle and the House of Marbles - both excellent and the latter is free!

We had a great few days at the Shepherd’s Hut. It is in the most beautiful, very rural, area and was so peaceful. The views are gorgeous. We are a family of 4 and the hut had everything that we needed and was very comfortable. It is walking distance to a great pub in Cheriton Fitzpaine and isn’t far from other amenities despite feeling as though it’s the middle of nowhere! The owner was lovely and let us meet some newborn lambs and goats, which the boys loved. I’d really recommend the hut for families or couples looking to escape for a bit!

Thank you very much for a wonderful stay!

The Shepherds Hut is very well presented throughout, with comfortable beds and sitting areas. Space constraints have been well managed and thought through and the location feels remote with amazing sunset views.

Other reviews mention about no Wi-Fi which did initially put me off tbh, but I found my 4G worked just fine all week if you do need internet access.

Shepherds Sky is a beautiful shepherds hut kitted out with all the comforts of home which the shepherd could only ever have dreamed of!
Our family loved it here and will be booking early to make sure we secure next years holiday here before the ***** star reviews come rolling in.
The location is beyond stunning set in rural Devon countryside looking over the valley and rolling green hills.
Within easy distance to Exeter, Crediton and Tiverton have amenities and attractions on hand. Bickleigh Mill a few miles down the road was lovely and popular with our two.
The accommodation is excellent very comfortable and homely with all the facilities you would want for an exciting and unique family holiday experience.
Special thanks to Victoria and family for welcoming us and letting us meet the orphan lambs and Pygmy Goats.
Shepherds Sky simply stunning inside and out a real Devon gem!

The hut lived up to expectations. Beautiful rural location, so peaceful and we saw the most amazing sunsets and star filled sky’s. Set in a good sized enclosed area that was great for the dog. The hut itself is cozy and clean with all the amenities needed to self cater. We were blessed with good weather so BBQ’d over the fire pit in the evenings. We really enjoyed our stay.

This was a perfect get away. Location fabulous! It was peaceful and relaxing. Great location for exploring.

Fire pit was really good to sit and toast marshmallows while watching the beautiful sun sets.

Very dog friendly, perfect garden for them to run and is fully enclosed.

Hut was cosy and clean.

With other holidays and events sadly cancelled this year, we feel very lucky to have been able to return to this little piece of paradise. Pure relaxation, and just a mile from one of the prettiest villages in Devon. Well worth the very narrow and winding roads to get there. The weather has been amazing too!

We had a lovely week - it was definitely off the beaten track and very peaceful, it was great to look out at sheep and the occasional pheasant over breakfast! The weather was mostly wet during our stay but it was lovely to be able to curl up by the wood burner in the evenings , very cosy. The bed was amazingly comfortable and the decor very pleasant - and the owners have gone to great effort to make the property eco friendly which is a plus. A word of warning - there is no WiFi and if you are on the 3 network you won’t get any phone signal - this is great for getting away from it all but not so great for practical things like checking the weather forecasts and tide times etc and I wish I’d known this ahead of our trip so I could have done more “homework” before we started our holiday. This is only a minor issue though - overall we had a lovely time and we’d happily book again. Ps : try the lamb inn in Sandford village for a Sunday roast ??

Reply from Unique Hideaways:

Thanks so much for reviewing Shepherd's Sky Super Hut - it's great to hear you had a lovely time overall enjoying the truly beautiful surroundings (a shame about the weather of course!) Due to the exceptionally rural position of the hut, WiFi isn't available at the property at present and would always be mentioned within the 'Features' section of the description. Mobile signal can also be a little tricky in some rural locations but we do have some helpful information regarding technology on our website to help you find a property with the best coverage. Our Booking Office team are also on hand seven days a week if you have an questions and would be delighted to assist. Bryony, Customer Support

The owners have obviously put a lot of time & effort into getting everything just right.

The first thing that struck us, upon arrival at the Shepherds Sky Superhut, was wow.....these Shepherds certainly know how to live! We were presented with a very clean & well maintained cosy accomodation, that easily suited the requirements of our party of two adults and two dogs, for the week.
A welcome basket of 'goodies' greeted us in the kitchen, a lovely 'touch' we felt. Good housekeeping instructions and information about the local area was made available....very helpful indeed.
Even through the most awful weather, we felt warm cosy and safe inside this hut.
All of which added toward making a most enjoyable experience.
Many thanks to the owners for allowing us to share this lovely hut and to Classic Holidays for making it available.
